what's up everyone John rende from TechnoBuffalo it's an unboxing for you of the amazon firetv was announced yesterday we've got it in our screaming loving hands let's go ahead dig in see what it's all about so here's the box for the amazon firetv it's gonna set you back $99.99 or $100 it's heavier than you think so on the front it looks like an Amazon box tells you all the streaming services that are on here of course that's when they're hoping that you're going to use most often but they did open it up to others Netflix Hulu Plus probably would be the the biggest ones to note so there's a lot of new features on here the box talks about them but of course I'm gonna tell you everything that you need to know something go ahead and dig in and for a special surprise so if you guys stick around they also have the game controller here will unbox afterwards these are gonna run you just about $40 so here is the Amazon fire TV box that mentions go ahead and try and get this plastic thing off here alright plastic tab removed slide that out amazon fired and this looks like a typical sort of kindle style box i'm gonna try to not say Kindle Fire TV just Amazon fire TV I set it enough so I wouldn't screw up on the video go ahead and peel off that tab with no whooshing noise I'll go ahead and open this sucker up and there is the box it's gonna give you access to over 40,000 Amazon Prime instant video on your TV including exclusives like Downton Abbey and justified and that is really really tiny a creative tiny so inside of here is a quad-core processor is actually a Snapdragon 600 2 gigs of ram and dedicated GPU plus 1080p video and Dolby Digital Plus surround sound which is pretty impressive so it's really well SPECT they say dedicated GPU Edition for the big for gaming will really help with any sort of UI lag this thing is really really small gonna pull this out so here is the entire box go and see what we got for IO it looks like it's pretty standard a little bit plastic around it there we go alright so looking at power HDMI up Audio Ethernet courses got Wireless built-in and a USB port and that is it really really tiny push it up to the side for just a quick second we've got some fire TV information registering all that kind of stuff we've got your remote which is a little bit on the the bigger side for streaming devices but it does have a trick up its sleeve takes two double-a batteries first of all which I think they included in the box somewhere but it has voice search which is quite tonight so you can just search for what you're looking for we're going to set this thing up and wondering if it's voice search for just Amazon services it'll do a voice search for absolutely everything and of course you should recognize those three buttons if you're an Android user this is Android based then your general sort of media style controls does feel nice so it's made us from a soft touch plastic push that off to the side also in the box we are going to have a little bit of a power brick not a large one and then we've got proprietary power connector right there and as I mentioned you've got two looks like they are a triple-a batteries here they're the Amazon branded triple-a batteries so the biggest competition I think today amazon firetv in addition to to a roku device and probably consoles would be the Apple TV so you can see what both of those look like here stacked on top the Kindle Fire TV starting a little bit longer and wider but a little bit on the thinner side both very very small devices here are the remotes for each as well looking at it straight down you might see the difference but when you look at them on the sides you can see the thickness although the Apple TV remote does not have voice search built in so quick comparison there one of the really big selling features I think for the fire TV is the gaming they're saying they really want to make a big push for gaming and even on the side of the box you sure you send the game developers you've got onboard they're some of the biggest ones Sega Ubisoft - Kea Gameloft and more so a lot of gaming focus on here they say games are gonna cost about a dollar 85 I want to play those games you're going to need one of these guys we saw this leaked we didn't see much of the fire TV leak which is pretty impressive considering they were shipping same-day and we did a really nice job keeping keeping it under wraps so go ahead and take it this out and it looks exactly like the leaks and looking very similar I think to an Xbox controller Pauline Xbox 360 controller pull that one out and here is the controller and it on first blush it certainly feels a little bit lighter perhaps less significant to say then the next box controller but it does feel very nice in the hands so you've got two analog sticks you've got a coarser four-way directional pad to trigger buttons on each side your a B X&Y Android control buttons and presumably a go home button and also if you want to control the media I've got play pause rewind or chapter back and chapter forward or fast-forward and powering this I think we've got two double-a batteries that they also include in the box those are gonna go right in there and then you've got some a little bit of information on it so this Plus this is gonna set you back about $140 before taxes depending on where you live we're gonna go ahead and set it up and of course I'll do au I walked it to see if it's a good deal if you even do some gaming demonstrations as well of the new Amazon fire TV anything you guys want to see leave in the comments right down below thank you guys for watching hope you enjoyed good video a thumbs up you always appreciate it until next time I am John render from TechnoBuffalo I'll see you guys everyone thank you for watching that video if you want to see more the latest and greatest tech news you can subscribe to our main TechnoBuffalo channel by clicking the button right down below in my pants region or click on the buttons to your right to see more of it
